Arnold Schwarzenegger is going back to barbarian basics: Deadline reports that the actor has signed on to reprise his title character from 1982's Conan the Barbarian, reducing last year's Jason Momoa–toplined reboot to a mere blip. Universal is shooting for a summer 2014 release date for The Legend of Conan, though the studio is still searching for a director, writer, and loincloth.
